Welcome to Cerrillos, New Mexico
The Best Village in New Mexico
Accessible from State Highway 14, commonly called the Turquoise Trail, Cerrillos is on the scenic road from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, closer to
Santa Fe.
While it was once seriously considered as the capitol of New Mexico, today Cerrillos, with its dirt streets, is a picturesque reminder of the Old West.
It is home to Cerrillos Hills State Park with 5 miles of trails, Black Bird Saloon, Broken Saddle Riding Co., Cerrillos Station, Cerrillos Railhouse Guest Casitas, Mary’s Bar, Casa Grande Trading Post, Mining Museum & Petting Zoo. There are several galleries and a Post Office.
The Cerrillos Historical Society works to preserve the area history and family stories with an extensive A-Z database on this website.
The Mining Museum contains artifacts from the Cerrillos Mining District and American Old West and examples of Cerrillos Turquoise are on display.
Movies filmed in Cerrillos include Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, Shootout, Young Guns, Outrageous Fortune and We’re the Millers.
